This is a set made up of a choice grade pair of a Leidyosuchus tooth and a portion of a mandible. Leidyosuchus was the predominant crocodile found in the Hell Creek Formation and lived along side large meat-eating dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex. The preservation and color are remarkable and very well-preserved. TOOTH IS INTACT WITH NO REPAIR, MANDIBLE HAS SINGLE FRACTURE REPAIR. BOTH HAVE NO RESTORATION. A great addition to a well-diversified collection of prehistoric dinosaurs and reptiles.

Crocodiles lived right alongside some of the most dangerous dinosaurs of the Cretaceous Period. Some types attained much larger sizes than they do today. Crocodiles like Leidyosuchus only attained lengths of just over 3 feet in the Hell Creek Formation, most likely due to the competition from monster, meat-eating dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex and Nanotyrannus along with packs of dromaeosaurs scavenging and hunting the swamps and creek beds where the crocodiles thrived. Regardless of size, prehistoric crocodiles would have been every bit as dangerous as any predatory dinosaur, though.
